Of course, the "ancestral" popclient was more an MUA than a protocol
gateway, since it didn't talk SMTP. Some people still want that MUA-ish
functionality.
Now, now... Even though I am one of those folk, ESR said "Discussion
closed", and I guess I'll have to settle for that.
You overinterpreted, "Discussion closed" was about the appropriateness
of Python for helper utilities. I'm always willing to look at patches
even if I disagree with the premise behind them.
